Region-free DVD playback on MC9 - works
« on: October 27, 2003, 07:42:33 pm »
You'll be pleased to know that DVDIdle v3.0 works perfectly with MC9.

This utility caches your DVDs to RAM or to HD, allowing the DVD drive to only run for 10 minutes during playback of a typical movie. Saves wear & tear, laptop batteries, and runs silent. As a side effect, it removes regional coding and the "FBI" warning.

Are you takling about DVD Idle Pro... which is DVD Region Free + DVD Idle?

I think that the caching could be quite interesting.  I'm looking to rip my DVDs and play them back with MC.  It works, but there are a few kinks.  I'm working up a post now.

Yep, that's what I meant - DVD Idle Pro. Incidentally, one of the things DVD Idle Pro does is that it makes the DVD visible as a drive, so you can copy the VOB files, etc. I think a lot of people then re-encode as MPEG4 to save space.
